This weekend, 17-19 January, marks the celebration of this festivity in many Costa Blanca towns.

One of the most curious traits of this festival, also known as San Antón, is the blessings of pets and other animals.

Fire also plays a key role with mascletás (load explosions), fireworks and bonfires. In addition, music, parades and traditional meals are a must in the celebrations.

Among the many celebrations, the ones in Canals, Valencia, Alicante, Mutxamel, Sagunto, Benissa, Pego, Teulada and Villena stand out.

The festivities will take place from 27 to 30 June in Pego.

Locals awake to the sound of the trabucos, while the Moorish and Christian comparsas parade to the sound of band music. The town has a medieval air with people dressed in chilabas and majestic costumes.

Apart from the comparsa, visitors may enjoy a medieval market, children’s games and rock concerts. There will also be bull running.
